What is ApexCharts?

Licensing settled, ApexCharts is back to changing what a chart can take as input.

ApexCharts is deep into a fast v6 line, shipping roughly weekly. The licensing arc that dominated 6.5 through 6.7 — trial watermarks, the first premium-gated chart type, then entitlement checks — has settled, and the last three releases are library work again. 6.9.0 is the largest of them: a histogram type that bins raw samples, a morph engine that conserves marks across chart types, and the end of the library's dependency-free packaging.

What is teal.modules.clinical?

Roche's clinical teal modules have settled into slow, decorator-driven maintenance.

The module library took its architectural break in 0.9.0, when every module moved to teal_data objects and dropped data_extract_spec inputs. Work since then is narrower: formatting arguments, decorator plumbing, and per-module bug fixes. The 0.13.0 candidates cut in July 2026 are a two-tag same-day release where the first tag carries all the notes.

ApexCharts vs teal.modules.clinical: editorial side-by-side

ApexCharts
ANALYTICS
10.0

Licensing settled, ApexCharts is back to changing what a chart can take as input.

◆ Current state

ApexCharts is deep into a fast v6 line, shipping roughly weekly. The licensing arc that dominated 6.5 through 6.7 — trial watermarks, the first premium-gated chart type, then entitlement checks — has settled, and the last three releases are library work again. 6.9.0 is the largest of them: a histogram type that bins raw samples, a morph engine that conserves marks across chart types, and the end of the library's dependency-free packaging.

◆ Where it's heading

The through-line now is input and arrangement rather than catalogue size. Charts increasingly accept the measurements a team actually has instead of pre-aggregated values, and the seams that let you hand a chart its own layout — plotOptions.unit.positions, the pluggable layout hook — are being filled in with kits rather than hard-coded options. The premium boundary has stopped moving; the free catalogue keeps growing around it.

◆ Prediction

Expect the raw-observation pattern to reach another chart type now that the bar pathway handles binning, and expect the remaining pluggable seams to get companion kits the way positions just did.

T0.0

Roche's clinical teal modules have settled into slow, decorator-driven maintenance.

◆ Current state

The module library took its architectural break in 0.9.0, when every module moved to teal_data objects and dropped data_extract_spec inputs. Work since then is narrower: formatting arguments, decorator plumbing, and per-module bug fixes. The 0.13.0 candidates cut in July 2026 are a two-tag same-day release where the first tag carries all the notes.

◆ Where it's heading

Development has shifted from reshaping the module API to making outputs configurable — numeric formatting in tm_t_summary, several decorators applied to one output object, categorical statistics in summary_by. Changes arrive from a wide bench of Roche engineers with occasional outside contributors, and releases go through candidates rather than straight to final.

◆ Prediction

A 0.13.0 final should follow the candidates with little beyond a dependency bump; the decorator work ported from teal.modules.general is the most likely source of the next batch of changes.
